Here is a comment from one of my customers who does not subscribe to
RCSE. His opinion differs from mine in choice of servos, but since he is
actually flying his 5 Ventus2AX with these I will share it. Jim is an
accomplished Imacc style pilot and flies all types of planes.
John, I
It's pretty odd that you've had failures of now four servos (I think) in
the exact same servo pockets. It feels like more than a coincidence. I
wouldn't put ANY servo in that airplane until I figured it out. Likely
that whatever you put in there next will fail to.
I personally would use heav
What is the Ventus wingspan?
Which manufacturer is this?
Do the control surfaces have a large mass associated with them?
How long are the O/P arms versus their mating link at the control surface?
How long had the system been sitting idling when you first observed a noise?
Most likely the first f
Hi Ben
I get my twisted wire 22 AWG from George Joy @ Peak
Electronics.
I use multiplex connectors.
I use Unassembled Gold plated
connectors from Custom Electronics. Jo Joy George's wife @ Peak
Electronics.
I cut off the factory plugs from the servos and
solder direct to the harness. I
I've had nothing but great success with Hitech digitals. My gut feel: something
in the wiring or elsewhere is creating your problems. Were it the servos, you'd
be hearing the same complaints from lots of other fliers.

OK:
So you buy a $1500.00 molded plane,
spending money to fly it safely should not be a primary concern. You have a 5
meter 26 pound aircraft here. It will fly at high speeds.
While in theory the Hitecs
should work, I would not use what you have specked out in anything over a 4
meter cl
Ive not heard so much about burnout on the 5125s as I have
heard about the gears stripping, they strip if you just look at em wrong!
Perhaps there are some high resistance joints/connections in your
harness/connectors/etc. I lost several DS368s in a short time due to loose
plugs/faulty con
Al, just go buy some JR 368 digitals and save yourself the heartache! gv

I seem to recall that some regulators are not recommended for use with Hitec
digital servos.
I've had a set of 4 5245s in an Ultimate bipe for well over two years now -
two on ailerons, one each on rudder and elevator (pull-pull). Power comes
from a 4-cell 1200 mAh NIMH pack.
